Saturday Songs: Christmas!

Hello everyone!
Source: keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk
It's almost that time of the year! Christmas! The past few weeks have gone by soooo fast! With presentations to give, assignments to hand in, taking care of the horses and practicing for dancing, I sometimes was happy when I could sit down for a moment!

Now that the Holidays have started, I really start to get the 'Christmas mood'. I really look forward to celebrate Christmas with my family and have dinner together. And what's a Christmas Night without a bit of good music?

Of course, some of the Christmas songs are very well suited for dancing! Last weekend, at the Christmas Challenge Trophy, we danced to a lot of well-known Christmas songs. We really enjoyed the variation in more common dance music, alternated with typical Christmas songs. Because Christmas is only a few days ahead, I couldn't resist sharing some of them.

Enjoy listening and have a very merry Christmas!

Michael Bublé - Winter Wonderland (Slow Foxtrot)

Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas (Jive - only ignore the long intro for dancing ;-) )

Frozen - Winter's Waltz (Viennese Waltz, it's rather short, but I loved it anyway)


Wham! - Last Christmas (Cha Cha)

Libera - Carol of the bells (Viennese Waltz)


For now, this is it for a few Christmas songs that can be used to dance to. If you like to listen to more, Micheal Bublé covered a whole range of Christmas songs. The Irish child choir Libera also has quite a nice amount of Christmas songs. If you like a capella songs, you should defenitely check out Pentatonix.

Saturday Songs: Shake it Off (Jive)

Hi everyone!

Today I'll keep it short, because I think you all know this song.

I really like this song. Perfect for jiving, happy, uptempo, just perfect.
To me, some parts of it sound really familiar. I really can't do any other dance than ballroom dancing, but sometimes I just can't resist myself and make the most foolish moves. Ah, who cares! Sometimes you just need to shake it off!

Here is Taylor Swift with Shake it off!


Enjoy your weekend!
